Graphic: Bodycam Footage Of Patrick Harmon's Murder.

Patrick Harmon was pulled over while riding a bike and shot 3 times in the back. The practice of selectively enforcing such laws against blacks and minorities is common in america. An article written in the Tampa Bay Times goes into details of one cities campaign.
"How riding your bike can land you in trouble with the cops — if you're black"

Funny, after they shoot him they go straight to him and cuff him, with no knife anywhere and no fear he might still stab them....but alleged fear of that knife is why they were exonerated for his death.
Where is this knife?

God fucking dammit. Put your guns away!
Obviously... god fucking dammit, don't make sudden moves like that around cops, especially while black.
But obviously also, the deadly force can't be your first instinct... police gun training is sooo fucked.

"A lot of racism comes from projection. White Americans have a stereotype of black people being criminals purely because they can’t acknowledge that it was actually white people that stole them from Africa in the first place. Today, you have the spectacle of black men being gunned down by cops who, by way of mitigation, release footage to show that the victims were running away. This is what happens when you don’t understand or even acknowledge history. You end up in a situation where, when slavery is the elephant in the room in your relationship with African Americans, you think it’s OK to say that you killed one of them because he was trying to escape."
